Dr. Keshia L Harris
Greetings! I’m Coach K and Founder and CEO of BOXICAN LLC. BOXICAN comes from an exquisite blend of my passion for the sport of boxing and my training as a psychologist. I started boxing 7 years ago (shout out to Unanimous Boxing Gym 🥊) and have competed as a Chicago Golden Gloves finalist (weight class 141 lbs). I received my Ph.D. in Human Development from the University of Chicago in 2018, with an area of specialization in developmental psychology. My work has focused on colorism, educational disparities, and optimizing mental health for Black and Latin American descent teens and women. I have a Masters degree in counseling psychology from Columbia University Teachers College and a B.A. in psychology from Spelman College. I proudly represent the sisterhood of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. Last, international travel and cultural immersion are highly important to me as I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently. Come train with a multilingual psychologist and former competitive fighter!
